Huawei scoops up ex-Nokia sales head

Huawei have announced that they're hired ex-Nokia employee Colin Giles, who was with the Finnish company for over 20 years before making the jump to Huawei Technologies.

He will become Huawei's new Executive Vice President for their Consumer Business Group and will be in charge of global marketing, retail and open channel development. Giles' biggest task will be changing the perception of Huawei in Western countries, such as the United States.
